"And who will deny me my feast? You, a pitiful amalgam of lesser races, bandits, thieves, and, yes, one thought dead? An experiment in desperation. You would stand against me?"

Summary

After Sahmad broke out of an illusion Annona had trapped him in, he was rejoined by Telluris and Metus. Annona disappeared, and the three miscreants ran from her lair, escaping onto the surface of Spherus Magna, only to find that Annona was already there. Sahmad convinced Telluris and Metus there was nowhere to run, and that Annona had to be stopped now. As Annona began to teleport, Sahmad, Telluris, and Metus latched on to her, and found themselves deposited off the coast of Aqua Magna while Annona approached a coastal fortress.

Annona reached the fortress, followed by Sahmad, Telluris, and Metus, and distracted the Skakdi residents with illusionary warriors, before being confronted by the Skakdi Fusion.[1] The two beings boasted of their respective abilities, before the Skakdi Fusion conjured stone spikes that wounded Annona. As Annona began to die, the Skakdi Fusion turned away and left her to her fate. In desperation, Annona consumed all of the latent dream energy in the Skakdi at once, restoring her power and driving them insane. The Skakdi Fusion's power automatically made the Skakdi's maddened dreams real, and aberrant things appeared as the fortress began to dissolve.[2] During this time, the Toa Mahri were freed from the Skakdi Fusion's control, and were no longer compelled to obey the Skakdi.[3] Telluris charged Annona, only to be promptly incinerated. Sahmad, with Metus' reluctant help, broke off one of the stone spikes and hurled it at Annona, successfully impaling her. Shortly after this, Metus fled the scene.

The Skakdi Fusion then made telepathic contact with Sahmad, and communicated a plan to him. Sahmad wished for all the people of Spherus Magna to lose their ability to dream, thus robbing Annona of her food source. Annona ceased hostilities and negotiated with the Skakdi Fusion, offering to leave the Skakdi alone if given a world in which she could sate her hunger. The Skakdi Fusion convinced Annona to let Sahmad dream this world. Sahmad wished for a world populated by beings like Annona, intending for them to feed on each other and go extinct within the year. Annona then departed to this world, unwittingly dooming herself.[2]

Aftermath

Sahmad spoke with the Skakdi Fusion and restored the ability to dream to all beings on Spherus Magna, including Metus and the Skakdi. The Skakdi Fusion told Sahmad that it would not remain on the coasts of Aqua Magna for long, and Sahmad offered to join up with its army when the time came. Sahmad then departed the area, returning to his homeland in the north with the intention of paying respects to his slain people.[2]

The Skakdi Fusion later recreated the fortress.[3]

The aberrations created by the mad Skakdi's dreams were not banished, and remain at large on Spherus Magna.[3]
